      Well sort of true. The "Nothing" is actually magnetic fields that we can't simply see. What makes them is still the mystery. But true, only 7% of the Universe is made up of Atoms.

    The Boötes Void is theorized to have formed from the merger of smaller voids, much like the way in which soap bubbles coalesce to form larger bubbles. This would account for the small number of galaxies that populate a roughly tube-shaped region running through the middle of the void.
    Also, the picture you often see of the Boötes Void, is not a picture of the void. What is often shown is a very dark gas cloud, a nebula, covering the background stars known as Barnard 68. An actual image of bootes void is not directly observable.

      But Boötes has no umlaut. That, my friend, is a dieresis, and is in fact legal to use in English. For instance, I routinely use it in words like coöperate and reëxamine, as I think it makes a lot more sense than the common approach of inserting a hyphen, as in co-operate and re-examine, or leaving them unmodified, which is unfortunately ambiguous in words like coop (a house for chickens) and coöp (short for coöperative.)
      Anyway, I said all that to say this: there’s no excuse (short of naïveté) for English-speaking astronomers to be afraid of diacritic marks, because we all write using the same computer hardware!

    the voids aren't expanding under any sort of growing "dark matter", material is coalescing via gravity and electricity/magnetism while also expanding. The voids happen naturally. There isn't even a reason to suspect dark matter is real based on any observations. The only cosmologists who are confused by the current data never take electricity or magnetism into account and work solely off gravity based models.

    The actual situation in astrophysics is first that we have no proven idea of what dark energy is or whether it even existsand secondly we can't even prove dark matter exist as all of the experiments hus far have been unable to produce even the minutest bit of it. We have now finally shown real evidence that the expansion of the universe is not uniform in all directions and that has also raised very serious questions about some of the basic assumpions about the big bang theory as it is currently understood. When you do your program you should not make assertions about things we are still very uncertain about.

    These subjects are always interesting to think about but if a person continues to depend fully on the theories of modern science then they will be chasing their tail forever drowning in a sea of theories. Of course science is always quick to magnify an image on a screen, label it in some way then talk endlessly about it like they understand it. These mysterious things were understood many thousands of years ago and described in detail in the oldest books on the planet, but the arrogance of the modern materialist scientists led them to mock the information because it was presented in a strange format that they couldnt understand and it didnt fit into their limited understanding of humanitys past or their viewr of "reality". What we can see or even use instruments to study is one layer of a system a lot older, larger and much more complex than what we have access to. If you reach a point where most of what you discover has to be labelled "Dark Energy" and cant be visually seen or examined with your most sophisticated instruments then common sense should tell you that theres more to this than just our layer of "reality".
